Good lord I like Mike Davis better when he's afraid to shoot.

Illinois just can't buy a bucket. Getting inside, getting a lot of shots they want, just nothing going in.

wow, what a surprise, lucas takes 3 steps, no call.

 

 

edit: lol, the "euro-step" - ok greg anthony, apparently you now get 2.5 steps without traveling.

Clear travel on Lucas.

 

MIKE DAVIS STOP STANDING THE f*** AROUND

At least have a f***ing pulse. I understand Michigan State is FAR FAR better than Illinois but we are literally standing around on defense and on the glass. Bricking decent looks. PLAY f***ING BAKSETBALL

yeah, Illinois definitely quit about 2 minutes into the 2nd half.

It's ok though I'm sure a handful of s***ty losses and wins over only mediocre teams will assure them a tournament bid. Can't wait to watch Purdue slaughter them in person on Tuesday.

Sullinger is a beast. He's already a Man.

They put 2 guys on him all game and took him out of the offensive end, yet he still won it with 2 clutch free throws and a block at the end.

Purdue is choking hard here at the end. Looks like Northwestern is going to hold on by bunch, unless Purdue can stage a miracle comeback and start making shots in the final minute of play.

They got cold, but that's a huge win for Northwestern. JaJuan Johnson was in foul trouble all game and as a result NU dominated the boards (how often can you say that against a Big Ten team?) NU still has a shot at the tourney now. The game vs. Illinois in a week will be huge for both teams. Both will probably be on the bubble come March so it could end up deciding the pecking order in Big Ten selection.

JaJuan Johnson continues to make some of the most bone-headed fouls. The competition level in college basketball is way down this season, as the top 10 teams have been less than impressive.

I love when Gus Johnson busts out the AH HA! Like on the Verdell Jones bucket.

f***ing embarrassing. Awful game for the Gophers, terrible effort defensively and we deserved to lose. There was some awful officiating in this as well, some of the worst I've seen in a long time.

 

Indiana should also be embarrassed about their fanbase. They just rushed the court after being an unranked team. Great job, f***heads.

I love losing to Drake. Seriously what the f*** was that.

I know what you mean

Wow, Drake, a team that Iowa State positively destroyed in Des Moines.

Wow ISU is sooooo good so much better then my ISU.....your in the big 12, and my ISU would probably beat yours like 50% of the time. That's saying something.

I agree with that. I understand how far they have fallen off the past two years, but thats just ridiculous. I'm sure a lot of the fans still consider themselves an"elite" program and I think that just shows what they really are. I thought it was kinda dumb that Michigan's fans stormed the court too. You beat the 15th ranked team that is on a 3-game losing streak, not to mention UM started the season ranked 15th as well

Yeah, that was stupid. With like 5 minutes left in the second half we noticed that they put up the ropes to hold the crowd back, and we were like, are people really going to rush the court after a game against Minnesota?

You should really stop claiming that Illinois State is just as good as decent major conference teams when they're losing to weak mid-majors. They've now lost to a 10-9 Niagra team (who played without their second leading scorer that game by the way), a 9-8 Ohio team and a 8-11 Drake team. That doesn't exactly suggest that they could play to a draw against a respectable major conference team like Iowa State.

Zoom, that's the nicest thing you've ever said about Iowa State.

False, Iowa State is playing really competitve Bball in the nation's hardest conference. A player like Brackens is 100 times better than anyone in the MVC.

I'm hoping we can put a scare into you guys, but going into Lubbock is much more important. If we can almost beat Texas, and we can beat Tech on Wednesday, it should be a really good crowd and we'll have a chance, however slim.

Nation's hardest conference?

 

Big 12 has 2 National title contenders, 1 presumably good team (K-State) and then others.

 

Id say the "hardest conference" right now is ACC or Big East. ACC has 4 ranked teams, Big East has 6.

 

Even the Big 10 has 4 ranked teams.

 

Just not sure by what objective standard Big 12 could be considered the "hardest conference". Its not #1 in RPI or Kenpom either. (In both of those ratings Big 12 is number 2, although in rpi has significantly lower SOS.)

I didn't know Iowa State moved to the Big East this year...
